The present work explores the possibility of utilizing sugarcane bagasse fly ash and carbon waste obtained from sugar mills and nitrogenous fertilizer plants, respectively for the removal of pyridine and 3-picoline from waste water. The adsorbing capacity of both adsorbents has been compared with that of activated carbon. Batch studies were conducted to see the effect of contact time, adsorbent dose, initial concentration and pH on the removal of pyridine and 3-picoline. Equilibrium data were fitted with Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. Adsorptive capacities were found to be in the order: activated carbon > carbon waste > bagasse fly ash. Adsorption was found …

Carbon waste generated from fertiliser plant has been used for adsorption studies for the removal of chromium, zinc and nickel and COD from industrial effluent from phenol formaldehyde plant, polyester plant, sugar plant. Removal to the extent of 91.40, 86.8, 93.8 percent was achieved at the initial concentration of 10 mg/1 for Cr(VI), Ni(TI) and Zn(II) respectively using carbon waste as adsorbent Removal of these metals were found to be in order of Zn(II) > Cr(VI) > Ni(II). In a multi cationic solution containing these three metals, Cr(VI) adsorbed preferentially over Ni(II) and Zn(II). COD removal of 67.51%, and 86.4 % was …
